Neurotology

Neurotology is a super specialized stream of medicine which deals with the diagnosis and management of balance disorders and other diseases of the inner ear and some special parts of brain that are involved in the maintenance of hearing and balance. Neurotologists in Doctors Planet are specialized in treating disorders like positional vertigo, Meniere’s disease, Vestibular Migraine, Persistent postural giddiness, etc.

Maintaining balance in human beings is a complex system mediated by coordination of various organs & biological systems. Any lesion or disorder affecting any part of this very complex system will cause vertigo / imbalance.

The management of vertigo is not a simple process but involves a complex understanding of various mechanisms that are involved in the maintenance of balance, identifying the defective organ and then treating the underlying disease that is actually causing the symptom of vertigo/imbalance. Thus these cases are best handled by a doctor who has specialized training in the subject of Neurotology.
